faithful friend


Everyone knows you
As a man of honor
I am glad to know you
Simply as a friend
You've always taken
Time to be my brother
And I'll be standing by you in the end


But I will never put you on a pedestal
I thank the Lord for everything you do
I'll be there to pray for you and for the ones you love
I believe that He will finish all He's started in you

I will be an open
Door that you can count on
Anywhere you are
Anywhere you've beenI will be an honest
Heart you can depend on
I will be your faithful friend.

I am one of many
Whose path has been made clearer
By the light you've carried faithfully
As a warrior and a child
God has used you greatly


To encourage and inspire
You've remained a true friend all the while
So I will never put you on a pedestal
Cause we both know all the glory is the Lord's
And I'll be there to pray that He will keep you by His grace
And I always will remind you to be seeking His face


I will be an open
Door that you can count on
Anywhere you areAnywhere you've been
I will be an honest
Heart you can depend onI will be a faithful friend
Should it ever come your time to mourn
I will weep with you
And every single time you win
I'm celebrating, too
Oh, I will celebrate with you…


I will be an open
Door that you can count on
Anywhere you are
Anywhere you've been
I will be an honest
Heart you can depend on
I will be a faithful friend
I will be faithful
I will be a faithful friend.



*** you heve been a faithful friend through the years. you are the brother that i should have had. you have been there to comfort and strengthen me. you were there when i had no one else to hold on to (without fail) and though you are miles away, i know that i always have you..

you know that i will never exchange you for anything in the world (not even for my pride). i will give you the time that you need.. just don't take too much time, i don't want to miss the most beautiful chapters of yourlife. i will give you space.. just don't go too far away, i may not be able to find you, or i might not be able to run as fast as i need to so i could reach you..

i don't mean to hurt you. don't give up on me.
